Hello,

 

I have been working to configure a simple raid 1 (mirroring) array on this system. The hard drive failed and had to be recovered from an OEM CD (This worked). I finally got AHCI enabled and working. In the process of trying to get this all working, I loaded the firmware/BIOS for H-RS880-UATX and should have loaded N-Alvorix-RS880 .

 

Now, when I attempt to load N-Alvorix-RS880 bios, it always fails with a return code of 252. How do I flash down the correct BIOS now that I have made this mistake?

 

Thanks!

@USMC-Tanker, welcome to the forum.

 

You actually did flash the correct BIOS update.  Here is the Motherboard Specifications page for the computer.  The Mobo is the H-RS880-UATX.  It would not have flashed if it was incorrect.
